Another Lazy Day!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Snowflake and Mr Brambles enjoying another day of fun!

First of all, we have some new regarding our Fatty Sailor Man. This is now the end of week two of him rowing around the office trying to get rid of his gut!

Well, the first week he paddled around doing just four hundred strokes on the lowest setting, first thing in the morning, waking the ferrets up and making them laugh!

The next week he went up to five hundred strokes but this time when he got to number eighty in each of the hundred he would put a spurt on and go like the clappers until he got to the hundred.

Well, that caused even more merriment for the ferrets who were rolling on their backs laughing their whiskers off!

Now, today he has changed again, this time he has increased the tension to number two!

Number two in effect doubles the drag on the 'oars' and this morning we noticed that he wasn't so fast when he got to the eighty mark, in fact, we didn't see any spurts of speed at all and his face was getting redder as he paddled around.

The ferrets were getting worried in case he fell off the rowing machine as wouldn't be able to take us out for our morning walk!

It all worked out in the end and we think he will survive for today!

The ferrets had fun with the new cardboard tube, running in and out and Snowflake was storing all her squeaky toys in it!

Hey! I can stand up in this one!

As soon as she put a toy in, Mr Brambles would dive in and kick it out again! We think he was trying to be bossy but decided against it after Snowflake bit him on the backside!

Get yer toys out of here!

Snowflake went back to her other boxes and tubes and played a game of 'Hunt The Ball'

I can See Them!

Of course, when breakfast arrived, Old Two Legs got his bowl full of Rabbit Food and Mr Brambles got into his 'Begging Position' right at OTL's feet, looking up and asking to be fed!

Can I have some Milk Daddy?

Mr Brambles is a bit of a 'Guzzle Guts' and not only does he finish his Lactose Free Milk in record time but he polishes off Snowflakes if she hasn't slurped it all down!

Down on the beach we all had fun digging holes and I even went in for a little paddle! OTL wouldn't let me swim 'cos he hadn't got a doggy towel in the car and I would have got too cold!

The ferrets were having great fun and at one time Snowflake tried to pinch Mr Brambles hole!

Gerroff! Go Dig Yer Own 'ole!

Back home The Missus served up our breakfast.................Doggy Scoff! Yuk, Yuk, Yuk!

We have decided to report her to Archie's Mum so she will tell TM off good and proper!

I suppose now we will have to survive on what we can mug off OTL!

I had some fun with OTL, you see, 'cos the office is so handy, he keeps going in there and keeps up with the paperwork, which is pretty boring, so today I decided to do a protest 'Sit In' and prevent him for doing all that boring stuff!

This is a Doggy Protest!

It didn't do me any good 'cos he took the keyboard off the desk and worked on his lap!

Lunch time arrived and the clouds arrived and it got a bit colder outside. We decided to get out a bit earlier than normal 'cos OTL said that it may rain this afternoon.

Off we went, Sniffin' the Sniffs and having a good time, then back home.

Holly Sniffin' the Sniffs'

Holly tried to raise our hunger concern with OTL, she went up stairs and stood behind his chair and did her 'I Want Something' woof!

She then led OTL down stairs and into the kitchen where she sat down in front of the Doggy Scoff and looked at it, then she looked at OTL, then back at the Scoff and back to OTL.

Well, it couldn't be any plainer, so OTL told TM about it and you know what?

She said 'Tough, that's all they got!'

She can be so cruel sometimes, just wait until she wants a cuddle!

Let's hope OTL has some muggable dinner tonight!

See you tomorrow, if we survive!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly Snowflake and Mr Brambles

P.S. We hope Mike is getting better after the operation, we will wait for Sue to report back.

Love the ferrets with their new tube. Daisy what can I say about the doggie scoff ....... go get TM now ........... Now listen TM if you don't give those girls decent scoff, I'm coming down there and I going to take those poor, starving little puppies away from you, you cruel, hard hearted woman.......... AND OTL ......... if you carry on working when that poor little Daisy has to protest, notice she didn't have the strength to sit (possibly because of the lack of decent food) I'm going to have to report you to, for being a cruel man.I hope there's decent mugs tonight Daisy darling. Michael get well soon, we must have a concerted effort to get those poor little doggies fed. xxxx

There you go Daisy, I gather TM has been to the freezer ....... better brekkie tomorrow :) ........ Sometimes you just have to put your paw down with a firm hand. BTW Archie says all round yours in the morning for some decent scoff ;) xx

Well I have been on TMs' "Personal Blog" and given her what for as well, soon the whole country (and beyond) will know how hard life is for you. I await more news, it had better be good.Lovely pictures, those ferrets do look cute but not as cute as you and Holly, that tube is really just the job, do they do bigger doggie sized ones?I went to visit Mike this afternoon his knee was a bit painful but he hopes that he can come home soon. Hope OTL is taking care of himself I am worried that we will all be visiting him at that hospital place. xxxx

About Me

Hello, my name is Daisy and I was taken away from
Mum and Dad by Old Two Legs and The Missus one cold dark evening. It was a bit
traumatic at the time but we all soon settled down and everything is OK now.

My sister Holly came to live with us about a year later and between the pair of us we manage to keep these Two Legs in line!

In December 2012, we were joined by Snowflake, a little ferret we found in our garden. She had her own home in OTL's office called Snowy Heights!

Then in July 2013 Mr Brambles, a super Sandy Hob Ferret, came to live with us and be a mate for Snowflake. We sadly lost Mr Brambles to old age in September 2015. A gentle ferret who will be missed terribly. We also lost Miss Snowflake in November 2015. She has left a big hole in our hearts, she was a real Daddy's Girl to the end.

There arrived two new ferrets in August 2015, Miss May and Miss April who are sisters, born in 2013, we think! They were full of fun and mischief and kept up the tradition of pinching our biscuits, just like Brambles did!

Sadly Miss April contracted Cardiomyopathy, which is a heart condition. She died in September 2016 and is resting in a flower pot in the garden with Snowflake and Brambles.

We were down to two ferrets and an empty cage but that didn't last long, a brother and sister ferrets needed a 'Forever Home' and Fred & Wilma moved in. They are about two and a half years old, so they were born 2012/2013. Fred is a gentle soul who loves cuddles with OTL and Wilma a bossy sister but loves OTL! We reckon them to be Polecat Coloured Ferrets.

It was a shock when Wilma was attacked by a dog and unfortunately died of shock a few hours later. Like Snowflake, Brambles and April, she is also sleeping in a flower pot in our garden.

Fred was not happy about being on his own and he was introduced to Wendy, a Polecat Coloured Ferret who found her way to the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue.

Introductions went well to begin with but within a day or so she began instructing Fred on just who was really in charge!

We had something similar with Miss May who lost her sister to Cardiomyopathy (Weak Heart). Miss May is a feisty young lady and she was introduced to Eric de Ferret while we were down at the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue and although she tried to be a bit bossy, he was having none of it! He may only be six months old but her didn't back down and the pair came to an agreement!

So young Eric moved in and they both started to learn how to get on together!

OTL takes us walking every day and we have 'Adventures'! The Missus feeds us, so, what more can a pair of puppies and family of fun loving ferrets ask for?
